A walk in the rain

A very capricious summer, this year, it seems. Days in which you can almost feel how you melt to the ground, days in which you need to wear a sweater so you won't get goose bumps, days with rain and wind storms, days with black clouds and days with blue skies, blend in the same weird but fascinating mix. Oh, and the nights with the moon and the stars illuminating the neighborhood, sometimes playing hide and seek behind clouds or just leaving us to the chilly rain drops.

It was such a night then... Trees from the sides of the road were shaking hands above us. The moonlight was barely making her way through the trembling leaves. Maybe you remember the place - I mentioned it in December. In the meantime it got green, so green that you could just stay there and listen to untold wind whispers. In the background, a buzzing symphony from the forest bugs orchestra was surrounding this almost unreal realm. It was all so natural that nothing could have been wrong.

We were walking on the way. Big words, small words, little secrets and hidden fears were flowing naturally, filling the distance between our steps.

It was later that I finally realized the forest buzz was all about calling the rain. And it came to bring us a breath of fresh air, it came to wash the way of our steps, it came to give the forest strength for the next unbearably hot day, it came to send the orchestra home to rest for a future representation of the same breath-taking show of nature.

We stopped for a few moments to enjoy this magnificent nature display. We looked up to the clouds and closed our eyes... Raindrops were flowing on our faces to clear out fears and concerns and leave hopes and dreams. We became one with the forest for few instances, enough to feel the nature's blessing and hear the orchestra once more...

All of a sudden, I saw a flash of light behind me, so I turned around to see what happened... I was staring at the thunder rain through the open window. A few moments of confusion; I climbed down the bed, closed the window, put a sweater on and got outside to take a walk in the rain.
